USB Charging Operation
SYD features one 5V 1.0 A USB charging port on the back panel. This is a convenient power source to
charge your devices.
When SYD is in Playback Mode (LED White) and Standby Mode (LED yellow), the port is active, and
whatever device is connected is able to draw up to 1.0 A of power.

Operation
1. We recommend keeping a maximum distance of 10 meters between the speaker and your device.
The best signal fidelity is within this range.
2. You can stream audio from your device to the speaker using either the player control buttons of
your device or the control buttons of the remote control (see diagram of Remote Control on page 5
of this manual – buttons #19, #20, and #21).
3. Take note of the following behavior and functionality during
Bluetooth
operation. When you are
successfully connected, the Blue LED will be lit solid, and your device will show as connected to ‘SYD
by Kanto’.
• The connection between speaker and device remains active even if input source has changed.
For instance, you can switch to another input source (e.g. RCA) and return to
Bluetooth
operation without losing signal connection and, therefore, do not need to pair with the device
again.
• When the speaker is put in Standby mode or powered OFF,
Bluetooth
connection with the
device is lost. When the speaker returns to Playback mode, the
Bluetooth
connection between
the speaker and device is re-established. However, you may notice a choppy playback signal for
approximately 30 seconds after reconnection. It will normalize.
• While the speaker can be paired with more than one device, only one device can play and
transmit audio signal at a time.
4. The SYD remote control features a
Bluetooth
Reset button to quickly disconnect a paired device and
allow a second device to pair with the speaker (button #6 on the Remote Control diagram on page
5).
• Press
Bluetooth
Reset button to disconnect a paired device.
• Follow the pairing instructions to pair another device.
• The same behavior and functionality apply to the second device.

Pairing
SYD features
Bluetooth
4.0 with Qualcomm® aptX™ technology and can be paired with many devices
for wireless audio playback from your phone, MP3 player or tablet. Pairing is easy.
1. Press the
Bluetooth
button ( ) on SYD’s remote to select it as the input source. The Bluetooth LED
(blue) will flash to indicate that SYD is in pairing mode.
2. Enable your
Bluetooth
device to search for a new device to pair with. Select ‘SYD by Kanto’ from the
list of Bluetooth devices available for pairing.
3. If pairing is successful, the
Bluetooth
LED (blue) will remain solid. You will not need to pair the same
Bluetooth device again - ‘SYD by Kanto’ will remain on your device list until you remove it from the
list.
4. If the device does not pair with SYD, turn the speaker’s ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position, then
repeat Steps 1 to 3. Alternatively, you can press the
Bluetooth
reset button ( ) on the remote or
turn off
Bluetooth
on your device and turn it back on again.
